A pleasant boarding on flight 621 to Manila. Korean airline is not fancy but the service is good. We were in the air by 730 Seoul time and we land at 11:10 Manila time. Breakfast will be served shortly, I hope. My seatmate this time is a 20 something pinoy who is studying accounting in. Mississauga. We are both waiting to be fed so we can nap. L...

Today we decided we'd been in the city long enough and took a day trip up to Subic Bay just for the hell of it. Subic is a good 2 1/2 hours north of where we live in Manila. Longer if you leave when there's traffic on EDSA. But it was a holiday morning when we left and the trip wasn't too bad especially since the driver was doing all the work. W...

Sitting at the airport lounge now relaxing before the flight leaves here in about five hours. I've checked in, paid my Airport Use Tax, walked through Immigration and I should be all set to go.

Our paths of course took us by the US Embassy and as it is on the coast of Manila Bay we decided to stop take a couple p...

Back in Manila. Woke up at 6, took a tricycle to the ferry/jetty area on Boracay. 100 pesos. 40 pesos to get back to Caticlan 150 pesos to get to Kalibo. About an hour flight to Manila. 130 pesos for taxi ride to Friendly's Guesthouse again. Lots of nice people at Friendly's. I saw "Epic Movie" which is hilarious. I met a really nice and beautif...

Hi everyone, I thought it was time I sent an update from Manila. We have been here for 4 weeks now and we have a few stories to tell. Getting around here can be easy in one sense (plenty of cabs) but difficult in another (plenty of traffic). I can spend 50 mins in the car in the morning going from our apartment to Tianna's school to work and I t...
